UTILITIES FEAR FLORIDA BOOM (Continued From Page 1) the income tax as unproductive. This, I am told, in most instances represents a saving annually of more land is worth. By establishing residence in Florida they pay no State income tax which represents another great saving. But men of this sort realize that theirs must be a waiting game for profits. They look upon the boom as a side issue which is temporarily holding back substantial development. Barron G. Collier, who has 1,000,000 acres in a county he has named after himself, gave this warning to investors in the last issue -of Forbes’ magazine: “Os all those who are clamoring for property in Florida, how many intend putting shoulders to the wheel and through years of hard work strive to bring this immensely productive region into its own? “But the task of development will require years of conscientious, welldirected, open-eyed work, phis the investment of millions of good hard dollars. "... between the two pictures—that of partly drained wildernesses and that of a land of intensely cultivated farms lies a considerable amount of drainage, clearing and building.” Need Healthy Back-Land The ultimate value of the many subdivisions throughout the state cannot be determined until this development, which Collier thinks is far In the future, has been consummated, because no city can long remain , prosperous without a good healthy back-land. Don't follow the rich man’s lead, unless you are prepared not only to pay him a neat profit but also to wait many years for your own profit. Speculators add nothing to genuine value. Unless you use your land, you’ll lose your money. Another argument used to inspire confidence is the heavy investment being made by railroads, telegraph companies and other utilities. But these wery companies are terribly worried right now over those investments. H. D. Hodenbaugh, general manager and vice president of the Florida East Coast Railroad, said: “Florida's future depends not on these building lots and resort towns, but on her ability to produce food crops and support industries. “We are forced by this boom to enlarge our facilities. We are now double-tracking our road because we have to keep up our service, which is now crippled by the congestion. But the quicker this rush is over the quicker we'll get down to solid development.” Rodenbaugh sees that there will be little return on the investments which ha.ve been forced upon him unless the back-land is developed by honest labor over many years. Railroads can't live on passengers alone. They must have freight to move in both directions. Utilities Are Worried The telegraph companies are spending millions to keep up their service. Dike the railroads, they are not investing for the sake of the investment, but for the sake of their reputations. They must give service. A telegraph company official admitted to me that he is worried sick over the situation. With Tampa running a million messages a month, Miami nearly two million, and other points in proportion, bigger clearing exchanges have been installed than are found in normal cities many times as large. But the company has had to do it. It foresees that when the rush is over, it will have a lot of wires on hand. Its hope is to have the rush last long enough to pay the bill. All these utilities would welcome more permanent agricultural development. . u ai ~e told. an evidence of

Florida’s growth, that the little city of Miami is issuing more building permits than Washington, D. C.. five times the size, and that the total for the State last August was $25,900,000. The figures are doubtless correct, including of course the abnormal cost of construction. But the largest operations are for municipal improvements and hotels for the winter trade. High housing

charges account for the activity in dwelling construction. Then there is a very considerable amount of this construction devoted to the process of “gilding the brick” —putting up one or two showy buildings on subdivisions to induce the public to believe the "city” being sold is actually being erected. A little investment in a pretty building goes a long way and is considered the best form of advertising. If, us you are told by the salesman. Florida is crowding forty years growth into a tenth of that time, there is an abnormal and unhealthy condition. It is like the boy who grows too fast and has to wait years for his organs and muscles to become strong enough to operate his overgrown frame. Bait Is Offset Relief from State inheritance and income taxes has been held out as a bait by the State which has constitutional restrictions on that plan of money-raising. But this Is largely offset by the Federal inheritance tax provision, whereby an extra levy of 25 per cent is made on those persons paying no State tax. Florida's chambers of commerce will devote part of their advertising fund this winter to a lobby in Washington and national publicity to obtain the repeal of this provision which, they say, almost totally discounts one of their best arguments. Relief from state income and inheritance taxes may result in considerable saving for the rich, but the small investor will have to pay the bill. Florida's improvement program, her city bond issues, government expenses and the like all must be cared for and all are heavier than ever before and will increase. The money has to come from some place and in the absence of other sources, must come from tax on the land. The tax rate you are told is lower than last year in spite of the big jump in expenses. But assessments havi been raised and tK'J actual rate on previous valuations is increased.
